Appeals court
rules against
prison inmates
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The 5th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
upheld a ruling denying damages to
a man for treatment he received as a
Texas prison inmate.
Clarence Ray Hines contended he
was unconstitutionally deprived of
some mail from his lawyer and that
he was roughed up by a prison
guard while he was trying to
straighten out his mail situation.
A brief printed opinion of the
court Wednesday, said Hines de
tailed nothing more than careles
sness by a mail room employee and
possibly overzealous actions by a
guard — neither rising to a constitu
tional question.
The court issued a similar ruling
in the case of Texas prison inmate
Milton James Anthony, who claimed
he was subjected to cruel and un
usual punishment by being roughed
up by a prison guard who found him
in a hallway when he was supposed
to be in his cell.
“We will accept that Anthony re
ceived more punishment than he de
served and that the treatment he re
ceived at the hands of the guards
might have been rough and unfair,”
a three-judge panel said in an un
signed opinion.
“Unfortunately for Anthony,
however, the courts cannot, and the
Eight Amendment does not, protect
individuals from all rough or unfair
treatment. The Eighth Amendment
protects against cruel and unusual
punishment only.”
“The behavior here, under prison
conditions, simply does not shock
the conscience,” the court said,
upholding dismissal of Anthony’s
suit.
In a third case filed by a former
Texas prison inmate, the court ruled
that requiring a prisoner to work
without pay has nothing to do with
slavery, cruel or unusual punish
ment or denial of equal protection
under the law.
Harry Lee Wendt, James L. Woo
ten and Danny Gene Malm filed suit
claiming that being required to work
without pay while in prison was a vi
olation of the 13th Amendment,
which outlaws slavery. They also
claimed they were being deprived of
due process and were being sub
jected to cruel treatment.
District Court Judge Norman W .
Black dismissed the case as frivolous,
and Wendt appealed.
“We agree that his case obviously
is frivolous,” the 5th Circuit said in a
brief opinion written by Tudge Terre
S. Williams.
Williams points out that the 13th
Amendment says specifically that
those who are convicted of crimes
may be required to perform involun
tary service as punishment for their
crimes.

The staff members at Sterling C.

Nan Butkovich, science reference

textbooks. ”
—Nan Butkovich

Butkovich said the posters are
from the American Library Associa
tion.
“The posters promote reading
and try to show there is more to life
than textbooks,” she said.
Thursday, ceremonies will be held
